There is a plant that is very widely grown here in the greater Phoenix area that people call Aloe vera var. chinensis. It is a huge clumper, and retains its spots longer (some times they never completely go away) that has orange flowers with multi-colored slightly bent tips. A lot of the plants in the entry here look like those. In the CoL this is considered a synonym with Aloe vera, so technically they belong in this entry - if people know that that is indeed what they have.
However, the plants do indeed look nothing like what is considered 'true' Aloe vera, which grows bigger, is more dark in coloration and has densely packed racemes of yellow flowers. So to have them all packed together to me would seem confusing...
